Description

Generates portable configure scripts for source code projects. Developers and package maintainers use it so software can check compilers, libraries, paths, and platform features before building.

It is a terminal tool, not a graphical app. Most users only need it when compiling software from source or building packages; generated scripts can influence build options and installation paths.

How to run

Commands: autoconf
